It's the second try for points this campaign as Sumqayıt and Qarabağ cross swords at Kapital Bank Arena.
The visiting Qarabağ played their last game only four days ago, a Champions League match. That game, against Ferencvaros, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Qarabağ.
Sumqayıt form and stats
In the previous season, Sumqayıt's league results were 5 wins, 7 draws and 16 losses, ending with 7th place in the Club Friendlies 2. Over these 28 matches they scored 22 goals and conceded 46. Performing at home in the previous season Sumqayıt produced 4-2-8 (win-draw-lost) with 13 goals and 24 conceded.
Sumqayıt lost their last game at Sabah (placed 1st) after a 0-3 scoreline.
Before that, Sumqayıt had a home game versus Sebail which ended with a victory 5-0.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Sumqayıt have been in this position before, they have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 from 5 games. 2 defeats by at least two goals.
Qarabağ form and stats
Let's have a look at how Qarabağ performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 21 victories, 6 draws and 1 defeat. In total they scored 72 and conceded 13 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 4 and lost 1 with 25/8 goals scored/conceded.
Two travels in a row for Qarabağ, whose manager Qurbanov could celebrate last time after the Champions League win against Ferencvaros.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Sebail in the Premier League.A new game in only four days for Qarabağ, the Champions League home match versus Viktoria Plzen. Busy days.
